Additional Process Information 
This process demonstrates a one-time order. A material procurement could also be the result of a process chain triggered by materials planning. There are various other types of purchase orders and outline agreements in the Purchasing application. This process reduces procurement to only the most fundamental steps of external materials procurement in the R/3 System. To do this, we use the basic form of a purchase order document, the standard purchase order. The settings in the material master record ensure that a goods receipt is automatically posted to the inspection stock and that an inspection lot is generated.
